DR SHIWAJIRAO PATILGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Hello, your baby boy is 4.5 months old and your relatives are coming from Delhi by air then you should not hand over your baby to then for 3/4 days at least
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. There is the risk to the baby, the risk to the parents, the risk to the visitor, and the risk to society.
For babies we are not totally sure what the potential risks are. Children seem relatively unaffected by this virus so far, but we have very little information relative to all other viruses, and we know that even a common cold can be deadly for newborns. Rarely some children are having a severe reaction weeks after infection (known as MIS-C).
Parents may be in the healthy young adult age range, limiting the chances of severe consequences from COVID-19. But any parent knows that caring for a child when you are even a little unwell is challenging, to say the least. We need to ensure parents are as healthy as possible so they can be there for the new family member.
The risk to grandparents will differ depending on the health status of the grandparent, but many will automatically be in the high risk category by age alone (65 years and older).
